Patterson, Arthur H. – Environmental Psychology and Nonverbal Behavior, 1978

Attitudinal measures of their fear of crime indicated that high-territorial elderly were less fearful of being victimized than were low-territorial elderly. Strong sex differences in the amount of fear were also found. (Author)
